Memorable Mother/Daughters Tour - The most memorable time was our friendly down to earth guide, Ms. Janel. She let us alter the tour to meet my daughters request to see the donkey sanctuary. I highly recommend this tour. We were able to try fruits and see the trees they are grown on. We ended our tour with a beautiful beach, swim and lunch which she prepared for us. I will use her again in the future. The van was extremely comfortable and easy to get in and out of for touring.

Best trip with Janel - Our encounter with Janel Baird was one of the most memorable and exciting, from beginning to ending. My aunt was looking for a tour driver but didn’t have anyone in mind. She found Janel, and learned that she was from my village. We didn’t know that she met Janel. A few minutes later this young woman greeted us with an infectious smile and a brief introduction of herself saying “you are my Guyanese people”. As we started to introduce ourselves we learned that she was from my village and lived in the same street. Her pleasant, friendly demeanor was captivating and soon we were on our way. As the tour of the island began Janel gave us a brief history of her beautiful island, Antigua. As we continued, she pointed out all the native fruit trees and fascinating places of interest, allowing us to take photos wherever and whenever we wanted to. Janel allowed us as much time as we wanted to enjoy the breathtaking views. She also allowed us to sample some of the island's fruits, like guava and took us to pick guinep, which were delicious. Her cheerful laugh, funny jokes had us engaged down memory lane about our village people throughout the tour. She took us to meet her husband and we talked to her father. Janel is a super hostess, and I would recommend her taxi/tour service to anyone visiting Antigua. We met as strangers and parted as friends. ❤️❤️

Great tour of island highlights - Our guide, Janel, was amazing. She went above and beyond as we were lucky to even experience Carnival while visiting in August 2024. We saw more than offered on site and her husband made us a great lunch! I highly recommend this tour of the island as we saw some amazing sites and learned alot about the culture.

Value for your money!!! - I was recommended to Janel through a mutual friend who visited Antigua in May 2023, and I am so grateful for the referral. From the moment I met Janel, she made me feel like family with her warm and welcoming personality. Her knowledge about Antigua's history is impressive, and she shared fascinating stories and insights throughout our tour. Janel's exceptional service exceeded my expectations. She not only guided us to the most beautiful and significant sites on the island like the devils bridge and shirleys heights just to name a few, but also made sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves every step of the way. She also treated us to the best mouthwatering grilled chicken wrap and refreshing fruit punch that added a delightful touch to the day. Her enthusiasm for Antigua is contagious, and it made my experience unforgettable. If you're looking for a knowledgeable and friendly guide in Antigua, I highly recommend Janel. She truly provides a unique and memorable experience.

Best island tour - This was the most relaxing and well organized tour that my family has been on. Janel and her husband picked up in an air conditioned van. We toured all of Antigua and saw historical sites. Great photo ops. Janel was so accommodating as my three year old wanted to go for a swim so we stopped at a beautiful beach along the way. We drove through the rainforest and picked local fruits. Janel also stopped at the local markets for fresh fruits and souvenirs as requested. Lunch was so tasty, jerk chicken rice and peas, mashed potatoes and punch. This was overall a great tour especially for my older parents and three year old. We will definitely return to Antigua and do this tour again

Excellent visit - We were on a Caribbean cruise. We made several islands our experience was beautiful. But arriving in Antigua and taken care of by Jeanelle was a dream experience not only was her experience of the island perfect but it took us everywhere. She made us taste the fruit of the land. She drove us to a beautiful beach and she returned us to the boat well in advance. The more friendly and courteous she was. For the best price. I recommend everyone to enjoy.

Book the tour! It was GREAT! - I finished the half day excursion today with the beautiful Janel and her lovely husband. This is my 1st time in Antigua AND my 1st solo trip so I wanted to make sure I booked something that would allow me to view Antigua’s beauty in full while also staying safe. I was the only guest that booked for Sunday so I had my very own private tour! Janet and her husband picked me up at my resort’s reception area on time, and made sure to educate me on every aspect of our trip. Janet is very personable and went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. It’s the little things that make such a big difference, like how pleasant they were in making small talk, providing me with wet towelettes and a water bottle to help me cool off in the Caribbean heat, stopping the car just to pick some fresh local fruit from trees to have me try, and even recommending a local restaurant to eat some yummy oxtail which I was craving all day. She didn’t pressure me at all to hurry up like some people do which can really ruin a trip. Overall, I would 100% recommend her for your tour!!

Make sure you book with Janel! - Janel was absolutely refreshing ! We asked to be taken through the rainforest and to see darkwood beach and wow did she deliver ! Janel literally picked all sorts of fresh fruits and herbs for us to taste, smell and feel while on our drive! She was personable, respectful, funny ! The van was brand new and cool!! I would love to get back to Antigua just to see her ! Highly recommend!
